Orange color vinyl version. Rafael Anton Irisarri's landmark work reimagined. Marking the tenth anniversary of the American composer's critically acclaimed album A Fragile Geography, this new edition arrives renewed, both sonically and visually. First released in 2015 during a period of personal upheaval and creative reinvention, it endures as a testament to resilience, transformation, and the connection we hold with the places that shape us. Written in the aftermath of a devastating theft, A Fragile Geography was born out of loss. Just days before a cross-country move to New York, Irisarri's entire Seattle-based studio was wiped out. Instruments. Recordings. Archives. Gone without a trace. He arrived on the East Coast to an empty room and the daunting task of starting over. Composed and recorded in the rural woods of the Hudson Valley, the album took shape in seclusion, surrounded by nature, and through a process guided by improvisation. Embracing limitations, Irisarri wove textural layers of field recordings with half-remembered melodies from his Seattle years, piecing them together like fragments of memory. Among its defining sounds is "Empire Systems," a monumental centerpiece built around a simple four-chord progression, organ textures, and guitar drones. Gradually, the track expands into layers of immersive loops and thick, enveloping distortion that wash over the listener like a rolling wave. More than a career highlight, A Fragile Geography has laid the foundation for Black Knoll studio, which Irisarri rebuilt from the ground up. The studio has since grown into a creative hub for countless projects, with Irisarri engineering records for iconic music figures like Terry Riley, Ryuichi Sakamoto, William Basinski, MONO, Devendra Banhart, Grouper, Emeralds, Steve Hauschildt, Julianna Barwick, and many others. Mastered by Stephan Mathieu with exceptional attention to detail, this anniversary edition uncovers every nuance in the sound design, enhancing clarity and presence. With each listen, new elements emerge, inviting discovery and reconnection.

Just. Life. is FDC's second endeavor after their 2022 debut Some Kind Of Wisdom. The A-side draws inspiration from everyday life. Things that are often overlooked. Birds whistling. Just being somewhere spending time together. Whereas the first four tracks open up a can of playful jazz the B-side explores more heavy conceptualizations. Birth and love for a child and the passing of a friend. Life and death. The cyclicity of it all. Fruit Distro Collective is a project by long-time friends Boris van der Hoff and Tristan Coco. Raised on boombap beats, schooled through jazz composition and inspired by Afro and Latin styles. Pour some reel-to-reel tape sauce over it et voilá.

RELEASE DATE: 9/19/2025
Spanish-born, Berlin-based artist JASSS, presents her third LP, Eager Buyers. It's the inaugural release on her own new platform called AWOS, which also encompasses musical, AV and art collaborations, live events, and a radio show. Eager Buyers is an observation of longing, of memory, of attempted connection, of lost innocence, and irreconcilable dreams. It's the sound of broken promises for a bright future, where rose-tinted glasses have lost their clarity, dirtied with disaffection over time. Across this sultry, smoky, cinematic epic, JASSS attempts to process mixed feelings amidst the modern malaise. Alluringly atmospheric and cerebral, but bold and direct, with high-spec sound design, JASSS spaces each element with expert definition. Searing swathes of noise nestle with crisp breakbeats, billowing bass, dark ambience, prepared piano, phosphorescent electronics and calibrated percussion. A sort of anti-nostalgia, the record lives in a contemporary purgatory of oblique moods which hover in the psyche, somewhere between uncertainty, foreboding, and guarded anticipation. The raw metal of bass guitar strings plays a key part too, ranging from ornate melodic phrases, shoegazy drones, and attitude-riven hard twangs. Vocals come from JASSS herself, plus James K and Alias Error on the track "It's A Hole." The heavy, hauntological atmospherics are in part due to the addition of field recordings -- the discreet, but spiritually-loaded incidental sounds of a place which can capture its history, with the acoustics somehow retaining an emotional imprint of lives long gone. If pressed for descriptive reference points, "masterfully-produced-post-punk-post-rockbaroque-gothy-dubby-trip-hop" might be a starting point, but that doesn't do it justice. Equally spectral in their dream-like quality are the musical signposts, where genre elements are familiar, but somehow also unplaceable, untethered from context, and beautifully strange in their new composite. At points there's an air of strangely dazed calm too -- a kind of frazzled cool in the face of desolation, and even tender, lighter moments, which glint through the cracks.

With his new album Cruise Control, Satin Jackets presents a perfect musical soundtrack for relaxed moments that take listeners away from the stresses of everyday life. The title of the album is meaningful: Cruise Control stands for the feeling of switching on the autopilot, leaning back and enjoying the journey to the fullest -- an atmosphere that the album unfolds. The album is a collection of singles that have been released over the last few years and are all interwoven at their core. Because no matter where you listen to the songs, they work, images arise in your head and your feet rarely stay still. Satin Jackets remains true to himself with his album sound, as he repeatedly receives feedback from listeners who appreciate the positive mood in his songs and which always puts them in a good mood. The songs are first created in the producer's head and then develop together with the features, who add their own touch. For Satin Jackets, "the most important thing is this immediate feeling that it fits musically and atmospherically." This can also come out of nowhere, as was the case with David Bay and Small Black, who got in touch with the producer and it was an instant fit. "There are always those magical moments when a song comes out of nowhere. Once I had an idea for a chord sequence that I couldn't get out of my head, but somehow that certain something was still missing. I then spontaneously asked a bassist friend of mine if he would like to play something to it -- ten minutes later we had a hook that carried the whole piece. It's these unexpected, spontaneous inspirations that make the process so exciting." Cruise Control is more than just another album from Satin Jackets. It is an invitation to enjoy the moment and surrender to the music -- a soundtrack that creates a good mood and takes you on a relaxing journey. So just switch on the autopilot again, put on your headphones and let yourself go. Featuring Seint Monet and Nazzereene.

RELEASE DATE: 8/29/2025
Students of Decay presents The Dip, a new full-length recording by Berlin-based artist and composer Thomas Ankersmit, marking his debut with the label and sixth album to date. Comprised of two expansive, sidelong pieces composed entirely on the Serge Modular synthesizer, it signals a subtle yet significant shift in Ankersmit's trajectory, imbuing the hyper-physical, psychoacoustic intensities of his live performances with introspective, atmospheric, and even melodic elements. Primarily known for a site-responsive approach to sound, often realized in the moment of performance, Ankersmit's turn toward the studio in the last few years has opened up a new dimension within his practice. It is in this quiet rupture that The Dip emerged, a study in internality and suspended states, rich with cinematic undercurrents and ghostly spatial suggestion. Here, electricity itself feels transfigured -- becoming supple, even organic -- within an environment shaped entirely by analog signals. Over the past two decades, Ankersmit has established himself as one of the foremost practitioners of the Serge, the notoriously idiosyncratic and expressive instrument that has remained central to his work. On The Dip, he harnesses its potential not for brute force or disorientation, but for spaciousness, resonance, and lyrical abstraction. Without resorting to additional processing or effects, he draws out tones that feel simultaneously raw and refined, articulated and blurred -- intricate structures that seem to breathe and evolve of their own volition. The result is a kind of auditory hallucination, a "cinema for the ears," wherein impressions, emotional arcs, and imagined topographies unfold. Each side of The Dip plays like a single gesture unfolding in time -- a spatial narrative constructed through vibration, density, and the movement of air. The Dip follows acclaimed works on PAN, Touch, and Shelter Press, and reaffirms Thomas Ankersmit's position as one of the most focused and probing voices in contemporary experimental music. Quietly radical and meticulously constructed, it is less a departure than a deepening -- a descent into a more private sonic world, where the boundaries between perception, memory, and pure signal dissolve.

RELEASE DATE: 8/15/2025
Double LP version. On their last trip to Silberland, hurtled along the chrome highways and glass skyways of the kosmische landscape, powered ever onwards in perpetual motorik motion. This time, however, the Hamburg imprint opt for an unhurried itinerary, coasting far beyond the familiar rhythmic terrain to immerse listeners in the ambient side of this alternative Allemagne. Building on the tape loops, tone poems, and minimalist compositions of the '60s avant-garde, these musicians utilized the sweeping scope of the synthesizer to create expansive meditations. This compilation offers a survey of this singular era, blending pioneering voices with lesser-known artists for an immersive sonic experience. Taken from Cluster & Eno's self-titled 1977 album, "Ho Renomo" opens the set with a profound minimalism. Roedelius' "Veilchenwurzeln" follows, evoking pastoral scenes in a multi-layered and undulating composition, where synths flow gently, conjuring images of open fields and embodying an organic warmth. Der Plan's "Die Wüste" delves into darker territories, translating the visual world of Rainer Kirberg's cult film into a stark soundscape, while Rolf Trostel's "Hope Is The Answer" sees a steady sequence rise and fall beneath the filter. The koto-like plucks and piercing drones of Vono's "Hitze" create a mysterious and hypnotic experience which draws on both ancient and futuristic tones before giving way to "E-Night", a recording from the sessions of You's 1980 LP Electric Days. As the album progresses, Serge Blenner's "Phrase IV" beguiles with minimalist yet celestial synth lines, while Moebius' "Falsche Ruhe" offers a quiet, haunting meditation on solitude. From there, Harald Grosskopf's "Oceanheart," envelops listeners in aquatic ambient textures that suggest serene, moonlit waters -- a perfect surface to reflect the starry sky portrayed by Lapre's acoustic guitar and wistful synths. The glimmering, crystalline, landscape of Riechmann's "Abendlicht" finds a heartbeat amongst the tranquility, leading seamlessly into the unhurried progression of shimmering chords and chiming synths which make up Adalbert von Deyen's "Per Aspera Ad Astra". Unreleased until Bureau B's recent retrospective set, Faust's "Lampe An, Tür Zu, Leute Rein!" channels a darker, introspective, energy, marked by drones and field recordings while Conrad Schnitzler's "Electric Garden" creates an electronic biosphere buzzing with synthetic life. Moebius & Plank's "Nordöstliches Gefühl" pairs calm percussion and rhythm guitar with pastoral, swirling electronics, resulting in a lush, stately piece that captures the spirit of a vast, open landscape. Deutsche Wertabeit delivers hypnotic minimalism, before Asmus Tietchens' "Räuschlinge" pulls the listener into an eerie atmosphere of deep disquiet. Pyrolator's "Minimal Tape 1/8" offers an immersive wall of sound. The wintry "Southland" by Rüdiger Lorenz evokes the isolation of frozen landscapes, a fitting prologue for "Alleewalzer" by Thomas Dinger.

After impressions of Unguja and Borneo islands, Discrepant's chieftain Gonçalo F. Cardoso continues his sonic travelogue on insularity with Impressões de Várias Ilhas. Literally translated as "impressions from various islands," this third tome dwells on recordings and inspirations from three archipelagos of Macaronésia. Soaking in the sounds and recollections from Azores, Cape Verde and Canary Islands these diaristic endeavors spread throughout a number of real environments, from water caves and black stone beaches and lagoons to small harbors and everyday life scenarios, to project them into this not quite imaginary but not quite real memory haze that goes from a deeply personal impression to a resonating one. Melding raw field recordings with processed ones and synthesized landscapes, Cardoso never falters into sonic tour-ism, conjuring small-ish takes both vivid and dreamy, infused with a sense of wonder that feels both bewildering, com-forting and escapist. The breaking waves of "Bufadeiros de São Vicente" soothing in their irregular pattern, mingling with the lone echoing tones not completely removed from Black Dice's "Beaches & Canyon's" most pensive passages, flow into the underwater ambience and suspended pads of "La Cueva Scuba Livre," as reflections of the same sea crashing in on different lands, nature's psychogeography. Further on, the queasy warm chord and scraping murmurs of "Noite em Rabo de Peixe" mirror their nighttime framing while "Rãs em Xoxo" veers closer to pure musique concréte, crossed by a subdued feeling of unease that lingers in the nostalgia of "Cozido da Caldeira Velha," brimming within the haze of a Boards of Canada vignette. Summoning the past lives and future hauntings of its scenery, "Salinas de Pedra Lume" is like the quiet epic of the album, meandering into the unknown among crackling field recordings, decaying synths and flute-like howls -- or is it howl-like flutes? -- recurring as glimpses from foregone existences, not necessarily Gonçalo's own.

In the shadow of the nuclear accident in Fukushima in 2011, Japanese musician Phew, artist Erika Kobayashi, and German electronic music pioneer Dieter Moebius (Cluster, Harmonia) came together for an extraordinary project. Together, they developed the concept album Radium Girls 2011, which they released in 2012 under the project name Project UNDARK -- 114 years after the discovery of radium by Marie and Pierre Curie. The album is dedicated to the so-called Radium Girls, female factory workers in the United States during the 1920s who painted watch dials with radioactive luminous paint and suffered severe health consequences from radium poisoning. On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the label Bureau B is reissuing Radium Girls -- for the first time also on vinyl. The Radium Girls were female factory workers who unknowingly suffered radiation poisoning while painting watch dials with glow-in-the-dark paint at the United States Radium Factory in Orange, New Jersey, around 1917. A group of five affected women later took their employer to court, setting a legal precedent that granted workers the right to sue companies for illnesses caused by hazardous working conditions. Between 1917 and 1926, the U.S. Radium Corporation -- previously named the Radium Luminous Material Corporation -- specialized in extracting and refining radium from carnotite ore to manufacture glow-in-the-dark paint, marketed as "Undark." As a supplier for the military, the company produced radioluminescent watches and other instruments. The New Jersey factory employed over a hundred workers, primarily women, to apply the radium-based paint, unaware of the serious health dangers associated with it. In total, around 4,000 workers across the United States and Canada were hired to paint watch dials with radium. Many later suffered from severe health problems due to radiation exposure, though the exact number of fatalities remains uncertain.

Merzbow, the pioneering Japanese noise project led by Masami Akita since 1979, remains a defining force in experimental electronic music. Celebrating its 20th anniversary, Scene -- originally a limited CD release on Waystyx in 2005 -- was reissued on vinyl in 2024, quickly selling out. Now, it returns as a remastered CD, featuring an exclusive bonus track from the original sessions, housed in premium SACD jewel cases, and accompanied by a new essay by Dr. Jamie Stephenson. A surrealist gem from Merzbow's mid-2000s "laptop era," Scene opens with the chaotic carnival energy of "Part 1," before dissolving into hypnotic layers of rhythmic drums, metallic clangs, distant bird calls, and atonal wind chimes shimmering in an otherworldly haze. A vital piece of Merzbow's ongoing analog and digital sound experiments, this CD reissue of Scene is limited to 300 copies, offering fans and collectors another chance to own this long-unavailable masterpiece. Artwork by Masami Akita. Design by Takashi Makabe.

In the weird world of Wevie Stonder, things are never straightforward. The four-piece collective headed up by Al Boorman have returned with their first album in 16 years -- and one reason it took so long is that they couldn't think of a title. The group are renowned for their outlandish electronics and humorous vocal performances, with a series of treasured releases on Manchester's eminent Skam Records, and their latest album Sure Beats Living ventures into unknown realms. Introducing a host of new characters, tall tales and bizarre scenarios to a musical backdrop as varied as it is striking, the record darts between ambient tranquility, strange soundtracks, bass-heavy beats and emotive R&B. Opener "That's Magic" features a magician talking us through a convoluted magic trick, to a mysterious synth theme that a celebrity conjurer might use to help the pyramids disappear. It's probably one of the only pieces of music to draw influences from Paul Daniels. "Carpet Squares" is a hefty slab of squirming machine bass, acid squidges and clanking industrial drums, its samples extolling the virtues of fitting comfortable flooring, with a voiceover recorded on a Canadian golf course. "Vanja & Slavcho" tells the odd story of twins who have an extraordinary ability to a bustle of spiraling arpeggios and comedic sound effects, while "Tiktaalik" has a glam rock beat, guitar twangs, wild synth runs and dance music drum rolls that build to nowhere, plus processed dolphin noises and a vocal about evolution. Then there's "Piccolo's Travels," a spellbinding mix of classical strings and -- is that a malfunctioning Clanger? "Album Titles" lists rejected names for the record to hilarious effect, with outlandish blips, accordion riffs and bubbling percussion setting the scene, "The 38th Parallel" is a wonky slab of electronica, while "Push It" has everything from rock guitar interjections to explosions and birdsong. If "Customer Services" imagines the bewildering experience of dealing with a sentient automated phone call, then the following "Nothing To Write Home About" is a waltz-time organ piece with a nostalgic, bittersweet air. "Ready?" lists practically every genre under the sun and gives you a burst of it, from drill to country and western, hardcore to Miami bass, and the final track, "The Void," is an AutoTune-laced R&B track with a deep, emotional core.

2025 marks 20 years of Tectonic, the pioneering dubstep and electronic label founded in 2005 by Bristol's underground originator, DJ Pinch. The Tectonic Sound compilation lays down the gauntlet for the future direction of the imprint. Split across 6 x 4-track 12"s and double CD, the compilation comprises many producers making their Tectonic debut, including Re:ni, Beatrice M., Yushh, Flora Yin-Wong, and Sicaria, alongside stalwarts like Om Unit, RSD, Peverelist and Kahn & Neek. It's an exhilarating 24-track journey through experimental, bass-heavy electronic music, with almost all tracks created by the artists specifically with Tectonic's sound in mind -- at the intersection where dubstep and techno meet. Across Tectonic's 150-strong catalogue there are seminal releases by 2562, Scientist, and Mumdance & Logos, side by side with appearances from Flying Lotus, Shed, Adrian Sherwood, Riko Dan, and Photek. The label holds some of the earliest dubstep incantations of Skream, Digital Mystikz, and Joker as well as Pinch's own productions. The evolution of the Tectonic sound branches into audio explorations encompassing sub-heavy techno and grimey soundscapes alongside leftfield electronica and future-facing beats. The common thread that binds is Pinch's devotion to pushing underground music ahead of its time, always built to rattle a soundsystem. Also featuring V.I.V.E.K, FJAAK & J.Manuel, Cocktail Party Effect, Appleblim, Gemmy, Sophia Loizou, J.Sparrow, Cortical, Ipman, Distance, Coki.
